On the road: Michael Novak lecture on atheism

Last night I had the privilege of attending a book forum at the American Enterprise Institute given by Michael Novak, on the topic of his new book, No One Sees God (which I've now reviewed for Amazon.com). Later in the evening it was revealed that Novak was celebrating his 75th birthday. The forum also included an agnostic, Christina Hoff Sommers, and an athiest, Jonathan Rauch.

The discussion between the three was fascinating, but I sensed that there was a great deal of talking past one another taking place, and I was disappointed that the debate was somewhat elementary. I believe the event will be aired on C-Span eventually, but I don't have those details at hand. If anyone finds it, please let me know!

Today, over at The Catholic Thing, Novak publishes his fourth set of responses to some objections raised by the "New Atheists". Also see Parts One, Two & Three.
